When Your Feet Are Happy, So Are You


What’s that old saying? A girl can never have enough hats, bags and shoes? Well – we concur! Shoes are important to us; they can help make up an outfit, help us walk tall and simply say something about who we are.

There’s nothing better than heading out to pick up a perfect pair to complement a special dress. So whether you’re hitting the dance floor or chilling out on the beach, it’s important to get it right.

Peep Toe
Let’s face it; the British weather can be tricky at the best of times. One minute the sun is shining, the next it’s raining cats and dogs: enough to keep even the most organised fashionista on their toes. So what to do?

Well this year we’re moving away from strappy sandals and onto the peep toe to keep high and dry. Whether it’s flats or heels, you’ll find plenty in this year’s selection.

Dune Shoes has an excellent range of peep toe heels in this season’s biggest colours, giving you the height to stand out from the crowd and keep bang on trend.

Ballet Pumps
If you like to keep grounded, then never fear, ballet pumps are still where it’s at. Team them up with a classic maxi or keep cool in a pair of shorts.

Wedges
Wedges are another footwear trend that’s set to be huge this summer. Stick to a cork or woven sole for a shoe that will suit almost any ensemble. Wedge espadrilles are also a great summer look. No, not the type you’re Mum used to make you wear when you were a kid, but the fab high wedge heels with tie around straps that the likes of Sienna Miller pops to the shops in.

Vintage
We all like to feel foxy in our favourite shoes and there’s nothing worse than feeling out of place or just plain uncomfortable. So, if you’re thinking of heading for new heights in super high heels, then a good pair of Round Toe Mary Jane’s may just be the answer to your prayers. Nice and comfy whilst being super stylish and right on trend, we think they’re a breath of fresh air.

So whatever the weather, put on your dancing shoes and reach for the skies in this year’s funkiest footwear.

Artfully Inspired :: H&M 35% Coupon

Happy Friday everyone! Just wanted to quickly share with you ladies a coupon I found for H&M - 35% off any one item of choice (highest one I've seen so far). Click HERE to print. .

This comfy kimono-style top was purchased a couple months back from H&M. I was drawn to it initially because it reminded me of Monet's Water Lilies. Its such a fun and versatile piece, as it can be paired with a blazer for work but also sheer enough as a swimsuit cover up as well. I love it when I can find items that are not only fashionable but artful too! Have a great weekend everyone =)

The Boyfriend Blazer


Hi everyone! I hope you ladies had a great Mother's Day! I'm finally done with law school - whoohoo! This week I have a break until graduation and bar prep classes start next week. I was going to give up blogging altogether until after the bar exam is done but I've missed you ladies dearly!
Today I want to talk about the boyfriend blazer an offset of the earlier trend of the boyfriend jeans - fundamental principal remains the same - it needs to be somewhat oversized and comfortable. What I love most about this trend is its versatility, it looks as good running day errands as it would look in office meetings or at night catching up with friends.
Not only that but it has the ability to convert a basic outfit into something more elegant and classy. Whatever the occasion, just roll up the sleeves for a cool and casual feminine look. This season with the multitudes of bright colors to choose from I recommend getting one in your favorite neon palette to brighten up any outfit!
